námae

== Old Irish == === Etymology === From Proto-Celtic *nāmants, traditionally said to be from Proto-Indo-European *né (“not”) + *h₂em- (“love”) (compare Latin amō), but as that verb root is not otherwise attested in Celtic, this may be a folk etymology. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈn̪aː.β̃e/ === Noun === námae m (genitive námat, nominative plural námait) enemy For quotations using this term, see Citations:námae. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== náimtide náimtine ==== Descendants ==== Middle Irish: námaIrish: namhaidManx: noidScottish Gaelic: nàmhaid === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “náma(e)”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language
